Each client in the process

We continue to publish on Habré lectures of the course "Network Programming in UNIX". Although the topic of the second lecture is not networked, it can be considered adjacent to network programming. The video focuses on how to handle multiple clients in a single network server. “Using more than one process can be organized in different ways. You can create processes in advance (this is a prefork model) or do it as needed. Both methods are discussed in the lecture, ”said Alexander Patrakov , the author of the course.

It should be noted that in our course the topic of flows is not touched. This is due to the fact that the threads in this context are completely analogous to processes. “I don’t see any sense in duplicating material,” explained Alexander Patrakov.

After the first video was published, I was asked to post not only the lecture recording, but also the slides. Although there is a link to the slides at the end of each lecture, for convenience, we publish a link in the body of the post .

We are very grateful for the attention to the course on the part of habrovchan and take into account all the comments. We promise that by the fifth lecture sound quality will improve significantly. In the meantime, you have to listen hard, but it's worth it.
